Warm regards.
I recently came across the Government’s approval of the ₹ 33,660 crore BHAVYA
(Plug-and-Play Industrial Parks) Scheme, and I must congratulate you and your
team for this bold and forward-looking initiative.
It has the potential to significantly accelerate India’s manufacturing growth and
job creation.
At the same time, I wish to submit a strategic extension to this vision — one that
aligns perfectly with BHAVYA’s infrastructure-first approach and can elevate India
to a global leadership position in the circular economy.
🧠 A Thought from 2018 — Now Aligned with 2026
In February 2018, I had published a blog titled:
“Car Graveyard of the World”
http://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2018/02/car-grave-yard-of-world.html
In that article, I had proposed that India could position itself as a global hub for
end-of-life vehicle (ELV) dismantling, recycling, and remanufacturing —
converting global waste into economic wealth.
Today, with BHAVYA’s plug-and-play industrial ecosystem, that vision can now be
implemented at scale.
📊 COMPARATIVE FRAMEWORK
| Dimension | BHAVYA Plug & Play Parks (2026) | My 2018 Vision (Car Graveyard of the World) | Strategic Integration |
|---|---|---|---|
Core Concept | Manufacturing-ready ecosystems | Global recycling & dismantling hub | BHAVYA as base, recycling as specialization |
Infrastructure | Ready land, utilities, sheds | Scrap yards, dismantling zones | Convert select parks into recycling mega-clusters |
Utilities | Roads, ICT, drainage | Shredders, sorting systems | Add material recovery infra |
Labs | Testing & quality labs | Metal/battery recycling labs | ESG certification & circular compliance |
Logistics | Multimodal connectivity | Import ELVs, export materials | India as global scrap hub |
Approvals | Single-window clearance | Environmental compliance | Fast-track green recycling approvals |
Sustainability | Green energy focus | Circular economy (reuse/recycle) | Deep ESG integration |
Workforce | Worker housing & amenities | Semi-skilled dismantling workforce | Formalize and scale employment |
Cluster Model | Supplier ecosystems | Scrap + refurbish + resale | Circular industrial clusters |
Output | Finished goods | Recycled materials & components | Feed manufacturing loop |
Vision | Manufacturing hub | Recycling hub | Circular manufacturing superpower |
🚀 PROPOSAL
I respectfully propose that:
👉 A subset of BHAVYA parks be designated as
“Circular Economy / Recycling & Remanufacturing Clusters”
These clusters can focus on:
End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) dismantling
Scrap metal recovery and refining
EV battery recycling
Refurbished auto-component exports
Secondary raw material supply to Indian manufacturers
🌍 NATIONAL IMPACT
This strategic extension can:
1. Generate Massive Employment
Formalize informal scrap economy
Create semi-skilled and skilled jobs at scale
2. Boost Foreign Exchange
Import global scrap → export refined materials
3. Strengthen ESG Leadership
Position India as a global circular economy leader
4. Reduce Import Dependency
Recycle metals domestically → reduce raw material imports
5. Align with “Make in India”
Close the loop: Recycle → Remanufacture → Export
💡 A ONE-LINE VISION
“BHAVYA creates the hardware of industrial growth — this proposal adds
the software of circular economy to make India a global leader.”
🙏 CONCLUSION
Sir,
BHAVYA is a transformational step.
With this strategic layer, it can become a global benchmark model — not just for
manufacturing, but for sustainable industrialization.
I would be honored to elaborate further if this idea resonates with your vision.
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
